Mouse oocytes regulate metabolic cooperativity between granulosa cells and oocytes: amino acid transport.
A search for genes expressed more highly in mouse cumulus cells than mural granulosa cells by subtraction hybridization yielded Slc38a3. SLC38A3 is a sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter having substrate preference for l-glutamate, l-histidine, and l-alanine. Detectable levels of Slc38a3 mRNA were found by in situ hybridization in granulosa cells of large preantral follicles, but level...
متن کاملEffects of nitric oxide on steroidogenesis in porcine granulosa cells during different stages of follicular development.
BACKGROUND We have previously demonstrated that nitric oxide (NO) inhibits steroidogenesis via a cGMP-independent process, by inhibiting P450 aromatase activity in porcine granulosa cells (PGCs) derived from medium-sized (3--5 mm) ovarian follicles (M-PGC). OBJECTIVE To determine whether the NO/NO synthase (NOS) system exerts any significant effects on steroidogenesis in PGCs derived from sma...
متن کاملSteroidogenesis in luteinized granulosa cell cultures varies with follicular priming regimen.
During follicular development, a co-ordinated gonadotrophin and endocrine environment is believed to be essential for normal function of the resulting corpus luteum. Whether differences in the gonadotrophins used to promote follicular development can have lasting effects on granulosa cells after they have undergone luteinization and culture, remains to be studied. We measured steroid production...
متن کاملOocyte-granulosa-theca cell interactions during preantral follicular development
The preantral-early antral follicle transition is the penultimate stage of follicular development in terms of gonadotropin dependence and follicle destiny (growth versus atresia). Follicular growth during this period is tightly regulated by oocyte-granulosa-theca cell interactions. Formation of the theca cell layer is a key event that occurs during this transitional stage. Granulosal factor(s) ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Granulosa Cells Co-culture and Retinoic Acid on Maturation and Development of Immature Mouse Oocytes in Vitro
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop an appropriate medium for in vitro maturation (IVM) of immature mouse oocytes. Materials and Methods: Germinal vesicle of female NMRI mouse oocytes (6-8 weeks old) were collected from ovaries and cultured in maturation medium MEM-a, supplemented with: 100 mlIU/ml rFSH+7.5 IU/ml hCG+5% FCS (Control group) and 2mM all- trans retinoic acid (t-RA) ...
